WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says Virginia's governor made "an unacceptable omission" when he proclaimed it Confederate History Month without mentioning slavery.
"I don't think you can understand the Confederacy and the Civil War unless you understand slavery," said Obama, the nation's first black president.

“Obama’s father’s tribe are reputed to have “earned their living” capturing more primitive people and selling them as slaves to the Arabs.”
Good point. Helps to have all sides of the story on the table.
Barry is acting stupidly.
His family traded slaves in the 1700’s and profited from wholesale human misery.
Great point! As taxpayers, we’re feeling more and more like slaves every day.
In further news, the Virginia governor stated that since the Obama administration was intent on ignoring the Constitution, Virginia was in its legal rights to henceforth ignore the 13th Amendment.
***Shouldnt AP be correct and say Obama is our first half-black president?***
We know his papa was from the Mau-Mau areas of Kenya.
So, on his moma’s white side were his ancestors Redlegs, Jayhawkers or border ruffians! Pro or anit-slavery during the pre-civil war years!
Inquiring minds want to know!
And it was REPUBLICAN president Lincoln who freed the slaves.
The democrats were the southern slave owners.
It’s shocking how many people can’t tell you what party Lincoln belonged to.
AND, he's now an expert on mining, also.
The sound of a Marxist exploiting white Liberal guilt.
